Michell Gyro SE...Light or Heavy style Clamp??



Just wondering which clamp you cats are using with your Michell Gyro TT. I am considering getting a heavy weight clamp for mine. Is this a BAD idea?

With the Michell designed clamp, you must stop the TT to flip the record...which is a P-I-T-A!

Any other record clamp recommendations? Thanks a bunch!

Hi, I've been wanting to start a thread but since this is here. I have two Gyrodec questions, I just got one a couple of months ago.

First do you use that little felt washer that's supposed to go on the spindle between the platter and the record? Because when I do it seems to keep a lot of records from lying flat on the platter. I think I'm using the lightweight clamp.

Second, does your dc motor make any noise at all? That was the main reason for upgrading my old table (motor problem & then motor noise). At my dealer both the Tecno and the Gyro seemed absolutely silent but now at home I am getting a very tiny bit of noise from the dc motor.

Thanks,
Wes
